This takes a lot of the muffled sound out of these...particularly for the neck and opens them up a bit.

I read that somewhere else (here on another forum?) and I tried it and it was really bad sounding - maybe I did it wrong, but I think when you get the magnets that far up from the bobbin windings it sounded too weak (and I like weaker pickups). However - when I lowered the magnets back into the bobbin even more than they originally were set - raised the pickup up closer to the strings - voila! Sounded better - maybe not anything like an original or Telenators revamped ones, but better to me at least.
